Configuring Aurora Edit
Aurora Edit has many options that let you define how your system is set up. While
your Aurora Edit system was pre-configured at the factory, you may want to adjust
some options based on how you use Aurora Edit.
Adding Video Sources to Aurora Edit
Before using footage from a particular source, you need to add the source to the
Aurora Edit source list. Aurora Edit pre-installs two sources for you — a video source
and a clip source:
• The video source, usually a tape deck, allows you to record footage directly into
the Timeline or Bin.
• The clip source allows you to edit a clip as a Timeline source directly in the Bin,
which is useful for large clips so you don’t have to go back and forth from a tape
deck. You only need one clip source; you don’t have to create a new clip source for
each clip you want to use.
To add other sources to Aurora Edit:
1. Choose View | Sources .
The Sources window appears, listing the currently configured sources.

3. Go through each Add Source tab to configure the new source.
